Anonymous asked: hi, i am 5'0'' too! finally i found someone on tumblr with the same weight goals as me. I would like to know your measurement please because you are such a big inspiration to me. Sorry if i wrote something wrong, my english is very bad :p

I haven’t checked my measurements in a while, but you can click here to see the ones I’ve taken. Your English is fine! (:

Anonymous asked: Are you absolutely sure you're 5'0??

yep!

Anonymous asked: im thinking of starting a weightloss program for myself, i currently weigh 58kg, and im 170cm tall. i want to gain a smaller waist of 60cm and my goal weight is under 50kg. any starter tips? :) x

there are a few steps that are a good starting place for anybody. (:

1) calculate your BMR. (google it.)
2) eat 250-500 calories less than your BMR WITHOUT GOING UNDER 1200 CALORIES.
3) do 20 minutes of cardio a day 3 times a week MINIMUM.

that should get you well on your way. (:

Anonymous asked: So i’m 15 years old and i’m not what you’d say over weight but i’m not skinny either. I have a fat stomach & i’d like my thighs to be thinner. So i’m cutting out all junk and carbs and working out, but theres this person in my life who keeps pestering me about it! Telling me to stop, to eat more (i’m eating COMPLETELY healthy btw!! fruit veggies yogurt ect), asking me why i’m doing it, like is it cause i want boys to like me and all this stuff and i’m sick of it! Why do i need to explain myself?

you don’t need to explain yourself. if they keep asking, say something like, “I’m only going to say this one more time. I’m trying to be healthy. If you cared about me, you’d want me to be happy and healthy, too.” your body is your body. it’s not for others to comment on or control. (:

Anonymous asked: is it okay if i drink diet coke while on a diet.?

i wouldn’t say “okay.” it won’t kill you (right away), but there are harmful chemicals in diet drinks. one of the side effects of aspartame (the artificial sweetener) is actually weight gain. water is always your friend. your body craves it. it needs it, and it will actually keep you from getting dehydrated. learn to love water.

Anonymous asked: That anon was being kind of a dick. Or a lot of one. $70 is plenty for a dress, she's not getting married or anything... and even if you were poor, what does that matter? That doesn't change who you are and it definitely shouldn't change the way anyone sees you. Jesus Christ, some people... your answer was perfect. Good for you, for working for what you have.

thank you. I do work really hard. I have to save up money for medical school. and my own wedding! I think my boyfriend is going to propose in the next year or so. he keeps hinting at it! tee hee. (:

Anonymous asked: Wow. dw, that anon most likely can't afford $70 on a dress. I mean, COME ON. $70 on a dress, especially someone your/our age is actually quite alot. Jealous anon, fuck em! :)

[sorry this is so delayed. been busy with school. :)]

for sure. i have a job that pays like $700/month and I get a small stipend from my scholarships, so I actually could spend that much (not all the time, obviously. I’m not going to blow my salary on dresses. I’m saving for medical school!!!) but I was just broke. My mother was SO nice for loaning me that much. I paid her back like the day I got paid because she needs that for her own things.

I hate it when people act like your parents should just give you money when they have it. did they ever think that maybe their mom wanted to buy herself a pretty dress?! since, you know, she actually earned that money? people are spoiled, lol.

Anonymous asked: I haven't been eaten for 5 days and then when I ate, throw up but without doing anything. What does it means??

it sounds like you need to get help, sweetie. I’m sorry that this is happening to you. please talk to someone before you hurt yourself. :(

Anonymous asked: your mom only gave you $70 for a nice dress? how poor are you?

how rich and spoiled are you?

1) both my parents work for a living and so do I. they don’t give me anything anymore. in high school, they bought me a car which is nearly paid off and they keep up the insurance. i have always paid for the gas. I got a scholarship for school, and I work to buy things that I need. this is something I wanted, and my mom happened to have a little bit of money that she loaned me. we don’t have a lot of money, but i have EVERYTHING i need and always have because I’m willing to work for it. but we aren’t rich.

2) $70 is plenty for a dress. I was thinking about maybe trying to get shoes, too, which the little bit of money I do have.

3) you’re an asshole.

psyche-delicate asked: I've been following you for a while and I never knew your name was Erika. It's a beautiful name and you're a beautiful girl, don't say bad things about yourself, I think you're gorgeous.

I was just having a bad day. I really love getting messages like this. they make me feel so much better. :D

Anonymous asked: So i’m 170cm so round 5’7 and 119lbs. I’ve been working out EVERYDAY - 20mins treadmill (swich between 6-7.3 for intensity) 20mins bike, and 5 mins on the eliptical (on about 11-12) AND i’ve cut out all junk food and been eating healthy (apart from the occasional square of chocolate that i couldn’t help myself, and i’ve eaten bread) and i say that i can’t control dinner because my parents make that.. But the thing is.. I’VE GAINED WAIT! Almost 2lbs! I don’t know whats wrong?!? Please help!

maybe it’s water weight or period weight. try cutting down on sodium. or maybe you’re gaining muscle, which is great! try to go less by what the scale says and more by what you look like in the mirror. (:

xgetskinnynow-deactivated201201 asked: Hi, I love your blog! Thanks for the follow, you're my 100th follower. Keep going xx

I’m so glad i could be your 100! it’s a great milestone. :D

Anonymous asked: you say missing e makes your blog not shitty?
not even missing e can fix this train wreck

wow, man, being that clever 24/7 must make your life pretty fucking hard.

anyway, let me be clear for my followers who AREN’T assholes. i’m a full time college student with a job. missing e cut out a lot of unnecessary steps. it let me reblog and tag without leaving the page. so i could add tons of relevant things to my queue in the short period of time per day that i am able to allot to tumblr.

and now, i’ve spent part of that short period of time answering your anon bullshit. congratulations.

Anonymous asked: Do other anons not understand the concept of BMI and height-weight correlation? It's common sense. You're doing wonderfully, and you've lost a nice amount of weight so far. So FUCK OFF anons!

they’re always like “you look 130.” and i’m like “yeah. i’d weigh 130 if i was taller. dumbass.”

thanks for the support! :D
